One grade step is worth $60.07/cwt here — about $330 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 200–300 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

32 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $510.96, low $381.63, median $470.45 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
